Black screen blue flashing LED.

[Throwbackent]

My worst fear came ttue. I slept past my alarm because my Verizon S6 in white 64gb decided to go black screen with the flashing blue led light while it was on the charger overnight .

I've searched everywhere and it seems to be common. The reboot isn't working. Volume down and home screen isn't working. I work on the road for in home sales and need my phone for when I leave here in 3 hours. Please help!

I may be wrong but try volume down + power button for about 10 seconds. It's pretty much the same as a battery pull. Sorry if you've already tried this.

Tried volume down and power button for over an hour. Finally finally rebooted. Everything is good, but why would it do this? How canice I prevent it from happening again? Now I'm so paranoid.

I'm not sure. Are u still in the 14 day return period?

Yes

Volume down+home+power is what you did to reboot.

Try volume up+home+power. Use the volume rocker to toggle to clear cache partition. Power to accept.

Toggle to reboot. Power to accept.

If your issue occurs again, I would exchange. It's not a normal behavior.

Pushing volume down and power buttons for 10 seconds rebooted the phone.. Up a and running again... Thanks

Welcome to the AC Forums. Glad rebooting the device helped. Clearing the cache partition might be a future option to consider.

This has happened to me as well. Soft reboots, cache refreshes, and many iterative rounds of factory resets (with varying levels of reconfiguration) has failed to solve the problem. The phone is 5 days old and neither Verizon nor Samsung can offer any advice other than obtain a certified like-new device or take the phone back to best buy and ask for a replacement new phone.

If you've tried all of that, get a new one.

Thank you so much, that worked after doing the Power button and volume down for 10 seconds and it actually worked.
